Watch Moon Duo’s “Slow Down Low” Video

“They revel in the wonder of sonic loops, exploring three- and four-chord patterns while adding and subtracting echoed layers and textures and gliding to eventual conclusion.” — Los Angeles Times

“Moon Duo’s previous albums are visceral yet dreamy, and Shadow Of The Sun follows suit beautifully. What makes this the best Moon Duo record to date is the way Johnson and Yamada have plumbed ever deeper into their droning, elemental psychedelia.” – NPR Music

“The track leans in close to bluesy boogie-rock, but it keeps the band’s astral inclinations intact. It sounds like something you should play loud while speeding down a desert highway and staring at the night sky.” – Stereogum on “Slow Down Low”

Following their recently released third studio album, Shadow of the Sun, out via Sacred Bones last month, and a nationwide tour, Moon Duo share a new video for single “Slow Down Low,” and embark on a two month European tour. The heady black and white clip for “Slow Down Low” was directed by and stars labelmate Domingo Garcia Huidobro of Chilean group Föllakzoid. Of the video Huidobro says, “A black mirror monolith articulates an inter-dimensional pathway between present time and an alternate slowed down present in a teenage night out in Buenos Aires. The video was shot with digital cameras and then filtered with a analogue VHS table.”

Shadow of the Sun was written entirely during an evolving phase for Moon Duo. It was a rare and uneasy rest period, devoid of the constant adrenaline of performing live and the stimulation of traveling through endless moving landscapes. This offered Moon Duo a new space to reflect on all of these previous experiences and cradle them while cultivating the album in the unfamiliar environment of a new dwelling; a dark Portland basement. It was from this stir-crazy fire that Shadow of the Sun was forged.
